Thank you for the honor
To the people of Anderson County:
I wish to thank God and you for the privilege and honor of being your General Sessions Judge for the past 24 years.
We live in a world that is filled with drug abuse, domestic violence, and a lack of morality for many. In 50 years in the legal system, I have come to one conclusion: Laws and politicians are not the answer to changing our world. The change must occur in the hearts and minds of each of us. It must begin with a revival. A return to a world that cherishes love, responsibility, and respect for all.
A good starting point would be the Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” We should demand our institutions adhere to the cherished words of “IN GOD WE TRUST.”
There is no other advocate who can save our world, which is daily spinning further and further out of control.
I will pray that we can all receive the hope of a world built on the Christian values of charity and love for God and others.
May God bless the people of Anderson County.
Don A. Layton
